The screen is composed of three lines of data and one line for the frame number and
timestamp (in seconds). Negative frames and timestamps indicate data recorded before
the trigger event. Positive frames and timestamps indicate data recorded after the trigger
event.
Use UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the recorded PID data of each frame.
The end of the list is reached when only the (up) icon is visible.
Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to scroll back and forth through the frames. The
LEFT key advances to the next frame, wrapping around to earliest frame when
the final frame is reached. The RIGHT arrow key goes back to the previous frame,
again wrapping around to the final frame.
Different vehicles communicate at different speeds and support a different number of
PIDs. Therefore, the maximum number of frames that can be recorded will vary.
Some vehicles wait a long period of time to store a trouble code after the driveability
problem occurs. If you selected Trigger On Codes when you made your recording, you
might not see any drastic change in data parameters before and after the trigger point. In
cases like this, the user can manually trigger the recording when the symptom is observed.
When done, press BACK to return to Review Data or to the OBDII Function List.
